Cloud-based IAM: buy, subscribe or DIY?

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an essential part of every organization’s efficient online operations. The question is, should you build your own IAM system, buy a ready-made solution or otherwise?

The current benchmark for IAM is a system that is seamless and secure: in today’s online business context users have high expectations. Unfortunately, getting access to large companies’ products and services still requires customers and staff to traverse any number of back-end systems built on disparate technologies.

To provide a seamless experience for customers, a solution should allow customers to log in once without the need to supply different usernames and passwords for every transaction.
